I like the draft, it's similar to what I've been thinking about lately.

The coaches hired is nice, not a huge fan of switching to 3-4, but if we get a good HC/DC that wants it, I'm okay with it.

Not a huge fan of the Matt Flynn trade though. He couldn't beat out Russell Wilson and Joe Philbin didn't want him in Miami.

Thanks.

I think Matt Flynn[for a fourth round pick] gives us a stable backup/starter option, and we have a staff that knows what he's capable of. It gives a chance to secure a franchise LT and S, and gives us a shot to pick a QB early next year[if necessary]. I don't really think he got a fair shot with Seattle, Wilson was Pete Carrol's "save me" plan.

Also when green bay switched they went out and spent high picks on adding guys to their defense.

You have us taking an offensive tackle and a safety. That's not going to help us switch to a 3-4.

Alright we're getting nowhere and your to stubborn to argue with - I want feedback on this draft. I get your stance, just gonna stop it here.

Draft feedback, if you want us to switch to a 3-4 take a defensive front 7 player at pick 6.

It's not feedback, it's you blindy crying about a 3-4 defense. This draft has us taking the BPA in the first three rounds, which is what needs to be done. Where we're picking there's no 3-4 piece at six overall for us to pick and we should not be reaching, that's why we're as bad as we are now. If we're picking and Jarvis Jones is still available, I would be all for picking him, but I have him going at three in my draft.

I believe we got a potential first round prospect in Jenkins in the fourth round due to injury, he has the ability to turn into a good 3-4 OLB.

I was thinking about this the other day - Flynn as competition and a potential starting option and I really came to like the idea. He's shown upside in the past and he could made a stink this offseason about wanting to start (and Wilson has established himself sufficiently at this point that he's probably not worth the noise to Seattle).

I really think the Eagles will need to bring someone in to, at least, push Foles. I'm not nuts about any of the QBs in the draft (like Wilson/Manuel, love Murray but doubt he's coming out) and the offseason could be better utilized filling in holes elsewhere on the roster.

Your best option on free agency is Matt Moore, who everyone's seen enough of to know he's nothing more than a stopgap. At least with Flynn, there is some evidence of upside beyond being a stopgap.

If Foles or Flynn turn into a franchise passer - great. You are already one step ahead of the curve and can continue revampin the rest of the roster. If not, you take your QB in next year's draft, when the roster will be more stable to accomodate a rookie QB.

This offseason is better utilized getting the rest of the roster straightened out and laying a foundation for the direction of the team. I'd rather expend a pick on a QB when the roster around him is set for him to succeed. Rebuild the lines first and then take your QB - or you can find out if your QB is already on your roster.

Ok remixxxx I will leave you alone about the defense, but what is your reasoning on flynn?

Franchise qb? Stop gap?

I don't believe Matt Flynn to be a franchise quarterback, let me get that out now. I do believe Matt Flynn to be better then any quarterback on the market this season, and someone who our offensive coordinator is familiar with. It's someone we can turn to if Nick Foles isn't the answer, or if he plays better then Foles in training camp and pre-season.

If need be, we can get a Bridgewater, Renner, Carr, or Boyd sometime in the draft next year. It's just a high upside stop-gap option at this point.

I actually talked to Saveoursonics about this topic. I already had him pegged with a fourth and he confirmed that notion via private message. I also brought up the idea of a trade involving Maclin[Seattle needs a WR] and Flynn, and he said that could work as well. There's a couple roads we can go down to aquire Flynn, IMO.
